Homework Rap

Lyrics By: Gail H. Johnsen

About the Song
Lyrics

Homework Rap was prepared for a back to school night to encourage teenagers to establish habits that would help them be more successful in school.

Hand out copies of this rap in advance because  once you start rapping everyone will want to join. They love it.

Do it a second time for extra fun.

My daughter went around for days saying, "Shop/accessorize!"

Find some Rap music to accompany these words, probably something in 4/4 time.

It's so important to be organized!

It's so much easier than you realize!

A place for everything; 

And things in their place,

Give your things a home;'

They need a space!

Retire to your bed 

And get some sleep.

Wake up refreshed,

Your commitments to keep

Keep track of work

By writing it down,

Be a good student, 

Best in town.

Don't do that homework

While lying on your bed.

You'll fall asleep--

Okay, enough said.

Take good notes,

While you're still in class.

You don't want to flunk out

You want to pass!

Be on time with work;

Don't procrastinate.

But turn it in anyway,

Even if it's late!

Find a place to work,

Away from all the noise.

Don't answer that phone,

'Cuz it's just a bunch of boys.

Your homework's done,

So you know you're free.

Now everything's more fun.

I know you agree.

Keep you're room clean,

It's your very own space.

Say proudly to your friends,

"This is my place!"

It's all so easy,

Now just go organize.

You'll have more time 

to shop/accessorize!

So here's the motto;

Do it! Don't wait.

Start today because

Tomorrow's too late!
